The movie "Black Rock" was a set, built one mile north of Lone Pine 
Station, which was part of the Southern Pacific Railroad "Jawbone 
Branch". None of that exists any more. If you are interested use the 
coordinates 36.634122,-118.39928 in whatever mapping app you are using 
and it will drop a pin right on the location of the former cross road 
town "Black Rock". As I said all the boulders, big rocks and blind 
canyons are on the otherside, west of Hwy 395, they are still all there.

You won't find it. It was built as a set past Lee Vining on the North 
Shore of Mono Lake off Hwy 167. It was demolished after filming was 
completed as part of the aggrement with the State Park Service.

However, if you want to see a true Western ghost town, head north of 
Lee Vining on Hwy 395 to the road turning off to the East which will 
take you to Bodie State Historic Park and the ghost town of Bodie.

Good luck with that one.
